Quick Answer
What Is a Quantity Takeoff in Construction?
A quantity takeoff (QTO) measures every item of work on a set of construction drawings and records it in standard units: cubic yards (CY), square feet (SF), linear feet (LF), each (EA) and tons. Quantities are organized by CSI MasterFormat division, building or area so the estimator can apply unit prices for material, labor and equipment.
Unlike a material takeoff, a quantity takeoff includes labor-driven items, such as formwork contact area, excavation, finishing and testing, which are needed for accurate pricing.
| Units | CY, SF, SY, LF, EA, LS, lbs and tons |
|---|---|
| Organization | CSI MasterFormat division and section; optionally by building, floor or phase |
| Pricing | Unpriced, so you apply your own unit costs and markups |
| Clients | In-house estimators, GCs, subcontractors, cost consultants, owners |
| Deliverables | Excel quantity sheets, marked-up PDFs, drawing references |
| Turnaround | 24–72 hours for most projects |
Your Pricing, Our Quantities
Many contractors want to keep pricing in-house: their labor rates, their supplier relationships, their markups. What slows them down is the measuring. Our quantity takeoff service gives your estimators complete, organized quantities in a fraction of the time, so they can focus on strategy and pricing instead of counting and scaling.
Every quantity references the drawing and detail it came from, and marked-up PDFs show exactly what was measured. Your team can verify any line in seconds.
We structure quantities to load cleanly into your system, whether you use Excel templates or commercial estimating software. We can follow your cost codes, your division breakdown or your preferred area and phase structure.

Florida Expertise
Florida Factors That Change Quantity takeoff Costs
Florida’s codes, climate and market conditions add costs that generic national estimating data routinely misses.
HVHZ & Wind Design
Miami-Dade and Broward fall under the Florida Building Code’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, with tested, NOA-approved products and stricter attachment. Wind design statewide drives connectors, sheathing and roofing costs.
Impact-Rated Openings
Wind-borne debris regions require impact windows and doors or approved shutters, often a major envelope cost. See door & window estimating.
Flood Zones & Elevation
FEMA flood zones change foundation design: elevated slabs, stem walls, flood vents and breakaway walls are measured, not treated as allowances.
Groundwater & Soils
High water tables, muck removal, fill import and dewatering are priced from the geotechnical report. See sitework estimating.
Condo Safety Laws
Milestone inspections and SIRS requirements drive concrete restoration and waterproofing budgets. See renovation estimating.
Storm-Season Pricing
Demand surge after hurricanes and June–November weather risk are reflected in escalation and contingency. See storm reconstruction estimating.
